Public bug reported:

(Sorry I'm a noob with Ubuntu)

Ok so I'm trying to connect to my university network which uses WPA2
PEAP and TKIP (this is done easily in Windows XP).  Every time I try and
connect to it on my broadcom card I get the prompt for username and
password, hit OK, and then the entire system freezes requiring a hard
reboot.  I can connect to the unsecured wifi network fine.

-Ubuntu 8.10
-Pavilion dv6646us
-Broadcom bcm4128? wifi card

Others at my school have gotten it to work outlined here:
http://forum.oscr.arizona.edu/showthread.php?t=2917

I've tried the wpa_supplicant.conf suggestion in post number 12 but that
didn't help (no .conf file even existed in /etc/ until i created it.
